24, 9 p.m., Fox President Taylor pressures CTU for some progress, while Fox pressures the writers for a storyline that makes a little more sense. Both are sure to be disappointed this season.

Hoarders, 10 p.m., A&E The second half of our depression double feature has two sisters trying to keep Adult Protective Services away from their hoarder mother, whose house is so full of junk that she can barely move. On Intervention they'd call those two enablers.

TUESDAY

FRIDAY

Kitchen Nightmares, 9 p.m., Fox Three owners of the same restaurant turn to Gordon Ramsay for help. His advice: Kill two of them.

SERIES PREMIERE The Ricky Gervais Show, 9 p.m., HBO Office creators Ricky Gervais and Stephan Merchant star in a cartoon series about their conversations with pal Karl Pilkington. It's like Charlie Murphy's segment on the Dave Chappelle Show, but not.
